Less than a year removed from a complete reconstruction of her left ACL, Robert E. Lee graduate Caitlin Alexander finished the Ironman Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, Canada, on Sunday, swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112 and running 26.2 in a total time of 11 hours, 46 minutes and 56 seconds.

The 25-year-old New York City resident was 18th in her 25-29 age division and the 79th overall woman to cross the finish.

Her section summaries included time totals of 1:15:15 in the water, 6:22:00 on the bike and 3:57:28 on the run.

In July, The News Leader profiled Alexander as she prepared for her first Ironman. A year earlier, she had been struck by a cab while biking in New York City.
